As of patch 3.0, this rabbit was changed to solid white. Previously it used the model of the Spring Rabbit. Yarlyn Amberstill is found running about, making purchasing her rabbits something of a challenge. This pet is only sold to alliance characters. Horde characters may purchase this pet through a neutral auction house and on occasion through their own auction house.

The Snowshoe Rabbit is a trainable pet in Mists of Pandaria. However, only Gnomes and Dwarves are offered this option from Battle Pet Trainers. Once learned, all characters will have access to this pet.

I'm not sure why this pet has such a low battle rating - rabbits are powerhouses. It seems that Blizzard decided the cuter and more innocuous the animal, the more vicious it is in battle. I just wish they would upgrade their appearance, as the closer you look, the more crude the rendering appears.

If you're turned into a bunny by the blossoming branch, you look just like this rabbit. One of the few times you and your pet can be twins! (Also possible with the magic eater that turns you into a cockroach.)
